Qichuan is a large city in the west of the central part of Chihuang. It borders Guangyue to the east and the Holy City to the west. Although it is not as prosperous as Chicheng in the east, it is not too bad. After all, this is the industrial concentration area of the Chihuang Empire. Yingjie's destination for this urgent delivery is here.
In an edge neighborhood of Qichuan City, in a sparsely populated and somewhat clean coffee shop, a man wearing a brown leather coat sat in a seat by the window. He had short brown hair and was tasting the delicious coffee here. . There was a rectangular box as tall as the sitting man leaning against the table.
After a while, a waiter came over and asked the man: "Guest, the No. 2 recipe you need has been cooked. According to your request, no sugar is added. Are you sure? The taste is quite bitter."
"No." The brown-haired man replied, staring out the window without looking back.
"Okay, here it is for you." The waiter then left. Not long after, he brought the new coffee to the man, placed it properly, and left. The brown-haired man said nothing during the whole process and had no expression. He just kept staring out the window as if he was observing something.
"This place... isn't bad..." the brown-haired man said to himself. Then he picked up the new coffee on the table and drank it in one gulp without waiting for it to cool down. Then he took out a banknote and pressed it under the cup, stood up, picked up the long box next to the table with one hand, slung it over one shoulder, and slowly walked out of the coffee house.
Walking on the street, the brown-haired man stood at the edge of the intersection and looked around. At this time, there were not many pedestrians and vehicles on the street. After all, it was not the city center, but it was already close to the suburbs.
After a moment, he looked at the sun in the sky and then at his watch.
"It should be almost time..."
The man then walked east along the street. Slowly, his figure disappeared into the distant street.
A few hours passed and it was already dusk. In the southeastern suburbs of Qichuan City, on the special highway leading to the center of the city, the street lights on both sides of the highway have been turned on, and the dim lights cover the entire highway. A figure was riding a motorcycle at high speed on this road towards the city.
This person is none other than Yao Yingjie.
A day and a half has passed since setting off from Akagi, and we are already very close to our destination.
"It seems that there should be no problem with this mission..." Yao Yingjie said to himself.
At this moment, thousands of meters in front of Yao Yingjie, a brown-haired man wearing a mask is walking on the road. Looking at his expression and movements... he is actually the same as the man who drank bitter coffee in the coffee shop at noon. It's the same person.
I saw him carrying a giant blade on his back, walking on this road, heading away from the city.
Not long after walking, he stopped and stared at the distance in front of him. After a moment, he seemed to sense something. He stretched his right hand over his back shoulder, took out the big knife and dragged it on the ground, and then dragged the giant blade like this. Keep walking... keep walking...
After a while, Yao Yingjie, who was running quickly, suddenly found a figure staring at him hundreds of meters in front of him. This figure held a giant blade and raised his hands above his head. After a short period of gathering energy, he swung forward with force, and a blue streak A crescent-shaped sword suddenly appeared, dragging an arc-like tail, and rushed toward him!
"Under attack!" Seeing this scene, Yao Yingjie's eyes widened, and two words popped into his mind!
Soon after, Yao Yingjie, who was still galloping at high speed, immediately pulled out the giant sword from the sword holster on his back with his right hand. After a moment of gathering energy and strength, he threw it forward, a light blue crescent sword. Shoot out and rush forward!
boom!
The two crescent moon impacts directly collided, and the explosion set off a large amount of smoke and dust that spread instantly.
At this moment, Yao Yingjie, who was speeding, was concentrating on the explosion smoke not far ahead. The next moment, he suddenly noticed a figure appearing in the sky above behind the smoke. The figure held a giant blade in his hand and was charging down towards him at high speed with a one-handed slashing posture!
At the critical moment, Yingjie quickly grasped the giant sword in the opposite direction with his right hand, pressed the broad sword blade close to his arm, and blocked it in front of him.
Boom!
With a loud noise, the brown-haired man fell from top to bottom like a cannonball in front of Yao Yingjie, and the giant blade struck directly on the sword that Yingjie used to block!
At the moment of the collision, sparks flew everywhere. At the same time, the force of the rapid fall passed through the two stalemate weapons and directly bombarded Yao Yingjie and his motorcycle. In an instant, the motorcycle lost its balance while moving, and Yao Yingjie's arms were a little labored. He blocked the opponent's giant blade, tightened the wheel brakes at the same time, and tried his best with the other hand to maintain the current state of the motorcycle.
Due to the huge inertia generated during the journey, after the motorcycle lost its balance, the entire body began to rotate, and the brown-haired man and Yao Yingjie continued to slide forward on the road...
After a stalemate for several seconds, Yao Yingjie saw the right opportunity, released his left hand from the handlebar, and used all his strength to quickly slap the brown-haired man.
The brown-haired man saw this, and when Yingjie's palm wind was about to touch him, he jumped back hard and jumped away from Yao Yingjie's motorcycle.
The moment the brown-haired man left, his vision suddenly opened up. Yingjie suddenly discovered that the front of the gliding direction was a street lamp pole that was very close at hand and was as thick as a bowl! Now that there was no time to adjust the status of the motorcycle, Yao Yingjie saw the moment when the rotating and sliding body came across, jumped up and left the motorcycle.
Due to inertia, Yao Yingjie failed to stand firm after landing and fell directly onto the road and rolled forward for several weeks before the inertial force was relieved. At the same moment, the motorcycle also hit a lamppost and bounced to a stop not far away. Although Yingjie had modified and strengthened the body before, the body was already somewhat damaged at this time.
At this moment, the sunset has set, and night gradually covers the entire dome. The urban and industrial areas in the distance are all ablaze.
Yao Yingjie stood up slowly, with some minor scratches all over his body...
"Who are you? Why did you attack me?" Yao Yingjie asked angrily, glaring at the brown-haired man who was slowly walking toward him not far ahead. Because the brown-haired man was wearing a mask, Yao Yingjie couldn't see his true face clearly.
The brown-haired man heard Yao Yingjie's question, looked at the embarrassed young boy in front of him, chuckled, and said, "You don't need to know. You just need to know that you will never see the sun tomorrow."
After saying that, he raised the giant blade again, exerted force with his feet, and rushed straight towards Yao Yingjie!
Seeing this, Yao Yingjie knew that there was no point in talking anymore, so he raised his giant sword and rushed towards the brown-haired man. The two finally fought together!
…………
Chicheng, the warehouse of Qin Ji Tavern, a secret room leading to a secret passage. The dim lights on the table only dimly illuminated a small area. Qin Yikun was sitting at the table. At this time, he seemed to be talking to a man wearing a peaked cap on the other side of the table.
"Brother Qin, there are some clues about what you explained last time," the man said.
When Qin Yikun heard this, he still asked very calmly: "What specific clues and information have you obtained?"
The man in the hat took out a photo from his body, and what appeared on the photo was a piece of paper with some "symbols" written on it. The hat man gave the photo to Qin Yikun. Qin Yikun took the photo and looked at it carefully. He frowned slightly and asked, "Is this... a password?"
"Yes. This is the only content we can detect so far. The other party is probably afraid of leaking something, so they passed it to us in code."
"Can it be deciphered? Just the code is useless. What matters is the content."
"This... I'm sorry, Brother Qin. This doesn't seem to be an ordinary password. None of the password analysis solutions I can use here can correspond to the set of passwords in the photo."
After hearing this, the entire secret room became eerily quiet for a moment. A moment later, Qin Yikun tapped his fingertips on the table, staring at the photo, his brain running rapidly.
The hat man saw this scene and said: "Brother Qin, see if you can solve this problem. I do have some methods here, but the risk is too high... I'm afraid it's not worth using those connections for this matter. "
Qin Yikun sighed and said slowly: "Well, just be silent for the time being. Being able to do this is inherently risky. I understand this. As for this matter, I will find a way."
The man in the hat continued: "Brother Qin, didn't you withdraw from the world? Why are you taking a trip into this muddy water now?"
Hearing this, Qin Yikun was not surprised. After all, he had made it clear before that he would withdraw from the world, wash his hands in a golden basin, and no longer engage in the business of detecting intelligence. Qin Yikun said silently: "I owe him a life. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have seen me. This kind of love cannot be repaid. I can only use my only ability to help him solve his problem." It’s just something I want to solve. That’s all…”
After hearing these words, the man in the hat also sighed and said: "Brother Qin, we all know what happened back then. This time, judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it won't be that simple. The people or things involved behind the incident may...the other party can use this special high-level code, which is enough to explain the problem."
"You don't need to remind me of these things. Of course I know it." Qin Yikun said angrily.
"Okay, Brother Qin, I'll withdraw first. If you have any questions, please contact me."
"Yeah. Go ahead. Remember, keep silent during this period. Let's talk again in a month or so."
"No problem." The man in the hat saluted Qin Yikun, and then disappeared into the darkness.
"Yingjie..." Looking at this set of codes, Qin Yikun seemed to be struggling: "Alas..."
With a sigh, Qin Yikun stood up and left, disappearing into the secret room.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
On the special highway in the southeastern suburbs of Qichuan City, the battle between Yao Yingjie and the brown-haired man wearing a mask has become intense at this moment, with swords flashing and sparks flying. The two have been fighting for dozens of rounds, and it seems they are evenly matched.
boom! After the two fought hard, they separated.
"Not bad! You do have a few tricks up your sleeve!" The brown-haired man fought with Yao Yingjie for dozens of rounds, feeling that the opponent was not a soft persimmon.
After Yao Yingjie heard this, his face darkened and he asked, "Who are you?"
"The game is over, my friend." The brown-haired man then gathered a very powerful internal force on the giant blade, and the entire blade was glowing with a layer of light blue arc fluorescence.
Seeing the opponent's movements, Yao Yingjie stood ready.
After a short period of time, the brown-haired man suddenly threw the giant blade at Yao Yingjie from a distance. The giant blade rotated and moved forward rapidly. Yao Yingjie felt a little puzzled because he noticed that the throwing direction of the giant blade seemed to be slightly towards his left side. ...What is the other party doing with this action?
Yingjie's eyes followed the rotating giant blade. The flying path of the giant blade drew a large arc. Predicting its path, it seemed that it had already circled behind him.
Less than a second after the giant blade was released, a very powerful thunder force gathered on the palm of the brown-haired man's right hand, and power exploded under his feet, rushing directly towards Yao Yingjie!
What happened suddenly made Yao Yingjie's eyes instantly pull back, and he found that the brown-haired man was close at hand. Yao Yingjie hurriedly blocked the giant sword in front of him, mobilized his internal power to activate Qihe, and prepared to forcefully catch the brown-haired man. The man hit him head-on.
boom!
The brown-haired man slapped his palm directly on the giant sword that Yao Yingjie was blocking in front of him, and a huge force of thunder exploded. The shock made Yao Yingjie feel a little sore and numb in his arms, but Yao Yingjie relied on the defense absorption ability of Qihe to directly withstand the blow.
While the two were in a stalemate, Yingjie suddenly noticed that the brown-haired man's left hand, which was hidden behind his back, stretched out and made some movements. Some flashes of arc light appeared between the fingers of his left hand. Almost at the same time, Yao Yingjie realized that the giant blade that had flown behind him began to spin, pointing directly at his back.
"A double attack from both front and back!" Yao Yingjie was shocked! At that moment, he quickly released his energy, mixed the absorbed impact force with his own strength, concentrated it on his left hand, and slammed it directly towards the giant sword in front of him.
Snapped! A huge force hit the brown-haired man directly through the giant sword, and the brown-haired man quickly jumped back to avoid this force. During the jump away, the brown-haired man's left hand made another move.
As soon as the brown-haired man jumped away, the rotating giant blade behind Yingjie arrived. At the critical moment, Yao Yingjie hurriedly leaned forward to avoid the giant blade. The giant blade almost flew past Yingjie's back! Extremely thrilling.
The opponent's front and back attacks were somewhat beyond Yingjie's expectations, but they did not cause any real damage to Yao Yingjie. While Yao Yingjie leaned over to dodge the giant blade, the giant sword he held in his right hand began to flash blue light. While he was dodging, he was ready to counterattack.
Yao Yingjie dodged the giant blade, and the moment he stood up straight, he swung the giant sword in his right hand forward fiercely, and a shock wave of blue sword energy suddenly appeared, flying directly to the brown-haired man who had just caught the spinning giant blade!
Seeing this sudden attack, the brown-haired man did not panic. He dragged the giant blade to the ground, turned his whole body sideways and leaned forward, and suddenly exerted force under his feet. He dragged the giant blade sideways and directly Rush towards Yao Yingjie's sword energy impact!
"Is he crazy?!" Yao Yingjie was shocked when he saw this scene! The sword energy that was sent out directly towards him rushed away. Was he in a hurry to die?
boom!
The brown-haired man hit the sword energy shock wave in response, and the sword energy exploded and produced a burst of smoke.
"This movement is wrong!" Yao Yingjie's heart suddenly tightened. Just when he was about to react, the brown-haired man had rushed out of the smoke. He saw that his left elbow was kept raised outwards, and there was a diamond shape in front of his elbow. With a translucent air wall, his right hand dragged the giant blade flashing with blue light arc, and rushed directly in front of Yao Yingjie, and swung the giant blade violently from bottom to top with his right hand.
"Thousands of armies are defeated by thunder!"
In an instant, a huge energy rushed out from bottom to top. Yao Yingjie hurriedly parried, but it was too late. He was directly hit by this force. His whole body was pulled up by this force and carried into the air.
"Damn it..." Yao Yingjie in the air was already injured. A long and narrow scratch appeared on his chest. Obviously, he failed to dodge the blow just now.
Before Yingjie in the air could make the next move, he suddenly noticed that the brown-haired man had appeared next to him. It turned out that the brown-haired man also jumped into the air. At this moment, the blue light arc on his giant blade became more intensive. At this moment, Yingjie found that the other person and He was just beyond the reach of his greatsword.
"Oops!" Yingjie was shocked when he found that the opponent was outside the range of his giant sword. At this time, he was in such a state that he could not make any effective counterattack in a short time.
Then, the brown-haired man and Yao Yingjie fell to the ground together. During the fall, the brown-haired man raised his arm and made a downward slashing gesture...
boom! !
The moment he landed, the brown-haired man's giant blade hit the ground, and the violent force directly shattered a large area of the ground!
"Thunder Flash!"
With a loud shout, a huge burst of thunder energy suddenly erupted from the shattered ground. The strong lightning arc mixed with the shock wave of the ground shattering and the smoke and dust of the explosion rushed directly to the surroundings. Yao Yingjie was completely defenseless at this moment, and he landed on the ground. At the same time, he was directly hit by this force and was instantly blown away.
The brown-haired man's lightning cracking move had such a large range and fierce force that it directly shattered the ground dozens of meters around. The scene was filled with cracks, a large amount of gravel and ashes, and it was a mess.
After a while, the smoke and dust dissipated, and Yao Yingjie fell on the ground more than ten feet in front of the brown-haired man. Arc lights flashed from time to time all over his body. This was the remaining power of the thunder that had not completely dissipated. At this time, Yao Yingjie seemed to have lost his ability to fight. Waves of numbness hit his body, and his consciousness gradually became blurred...
The brown-haired man walked forward slowly and looked at Yao Yingjie who had fallen to the ground and was almost unconscious at his feet. He was silent for a moment and said to himself: "Have a good trip, friend." Then he raised his giant blade and pointed towards Yao Yingjie. Yingjie's neck was chopped off...
